EHRs

North York General Hospital is a public hospital, long term care and ambulatory facility serving the greater Toronto, Canada, region.  In order to meet the requirements of its public funding model, NYGH needed a storage solution that both improved the performance of its EHR and offered a low TCO that allowed it to extend the lifecycle of its storage investments.  In this webinar, NYGH discusses its decision to leverage Pure Storage in its Cerner EHR environment, and the process and testing involved in moving the Cerner EHR, as well as its analytics environment, to Pure. Discussion will cover NYGH's EHR, backup and disaster recovery strategy, analytics and reporting roadmap and TCO from the project.  

There’s no way around it – the senior care and healthcare industries are document-intensive, involving countless forms and agreements that often require signatures. Despite continuous investments in electronic health record (EHR) technology, many providers still default to paper simply to capture a signature – diminishing productivity and ultimately impacting the quality of care. For this reason, healthcare and senior care organizations of all sizes are moving to fully digital resident/patient onboarding, including electronic signatures. As a result, they no longer chase paperwork and ultimately improve quality of care by eliminating error-prone manual data entry. Join this 60-minute HIMSS webcast to learn best practices and requirements for a secure digital onboarding. Key topics will include: • How e-signatures & EHR work together • Digital adoption trends among senior care and healthcare organizations • E-signature standards & HIPAA Compliance • Options for getting started quickly This webcast will also feature a live demonstration from PointClickCare, showing how e-signatures for resident onboarding have been integrated into their EHR platform.

To achieve greater interoperability, health institutions must address the challenges of data integration. A single patient identifier creates one record for one patient over the care continuum, which is vital as we move to a value-based care system.

Successful population health and value-based care initiatives require complete and accurate information. Hear how efficient aggregation and normalization of community-wide health and care records, combined with systematically applied innovative clinical logic can improve patient safety, expose gaps in care and present providers with a relevant view of information about their patients, dramatically increasing clinician awareness and helping them act on what matters.

Like many health systems, Maury Regional Medical Center, had data across five EHR systems, making it difficult to get a single view of the patient.  Join us as Maury Regional’s IT team talks about how they overcame this challenge to create the “golden record” and learn about how it’s helped them improve data reliability and provider/patient engagement. During this webinar, you’ll learn: •strategies for reducing disparate patient records •how the implementation process work, including resource allocation, training and timeframe •best practices for leverage an EMPI solution for patient engagement and safety  

The reality in healthcare IT today is that we are fighting a day-to-day battle to keep up with demands for new apps, analytics, performance and mobility. Attendees will gain understanding of the growing importance of all-flash storage is a critical element to support simplification of the datacenter environment, even amidst the complexity added by virtualization, analytics, productivity and resiliency requirements.

Many physicians and nurses are traveling across desolate EHR wastelands replete with digital detritus, pixel dust and other non-value-add items.

HIMSS Executive Vice President Carla Smith and PCHA EVP Patricia Mechael caution against applying the phrase to all digital health apps and tools. Instead, executives and innovators should work to align emerging technologies with consumer demand.
